Any SysOp that makes QMX or equivalent available for users on their BBS
request a free registration passkey file for their own personal copy of
XRS - the "eXpress Response System" offline reader/editor program.  All I
need for you to do is print out the registration page in your REGISTER.DOC
file and send it end to me with your zone:net/node address - please state
"Free Key for SysOp" clearly on the form, and mail it to me at the given
address, or you may netmail it to me at 372/666 or 372/888 (both HST_14400
equipped) or 372/555 - a Hayes V9600 unit (all three are the same system -
just different nodes...).  That file - REGISTER.QMX - is inside the QMX
public version 1.10 zip file QMX_110.ZIP - note that you must be listed
in any network nodelist (if you are foreign to "FidoNet" or "EggNet" or
"BBSNet" you may have to provide me with a nodelist segment to validate
your "SysOp" status).

I will return your key via netmail to the address given after verifying
the given name in the current nodelist (I have access to all of the major
networks' nodelists).  If you are "brand new" an not yet in the nodelist,
I will send your passkey number as soon as you are listed.

PLEASE NOTE:  Registration provides you with an eight-digit hexidecimal
registration password which you insert into a keyfile.  Unlocking XRS will
not provide any additional features!  Unlocked copies do not pause to ask
for a random four hex digit number when run, eliminate the blinking "Demo
Copy" reminder at the bottom of the screen, and disable the nagging beep
when you select items from the main menu.

The "passkey" will work for all past, current and future versions of XRS.

I ask for a $20 registration for users of XRS that decide to use XRS more
than 10 days to "test-drive" it, although there is nothing in the program
to stop them from using it forever.  It contains no crippled routines nor
disabled features whatsoever when run in unregistered form!  (as a matter
of fact - it has a few extra features! <grin>...)  XRS notes the absense
of registration on the tear line, since registered copies always have a
plus gien "+" after the version number.  XRS will also show a minus "-"
sign if they are used after the thirty day free-trial license expires.

I appreciate your support and ask that you send me suggestions on how you
would like to see both QMX - the "Quickpoint Mail eXpress" BBS interface
and XRS - the "eXpress Response System" offline reader/editor!  To date, I
have implemented almost every good suggestion I have received in the XRS
program, but you should note that this third release of QMX is definitely
*not* a finished product.  I will include the ability to select one group
to add or delete without having to go through all groups to reselect in
version 1.10!

Many thanks to my beta testers!  Without them, QMX would never have been...
I don't run a QuickBBS myself, although I have a complete message database
from a local tester here for alpha crash-testing, I just don't have the
intimate knowledge a seasoned QuickBBS SysOp can provide!

QMX and XRS are both distributed via the SDS "Software Distribution System".
All non-beta copies are available from SDS nodes!  Beta versions are here
at 1:372/666 or 1:372/888, from Ed Meloan (1:360/1) and from Miles Hoover
(1:109/124) among others - all of these nodes have HST modems!

Note that unregistered beta copies of XRS will not run!  You must be a valid
and registered user to execute these versions.  QMX contains no such check
for this restriction since it is provided completely free of cost.
